Enjoy Mother's Day

Even though my mom is no longer around, my memories of her are my fondest memories. Of those memories the laughs can still bring me a smile.

Thinking of laughs - here's my post from last Mother's Day which is still worth a look.

For all of you, supermoms out there - have a great Mother's day.

Do you know who Anna Jarvis is? She is credited with founding Mother's Day in the US. I think she would be shocked and upset if she were here for Mother's Day 2009. She was angered by printed cards back in her day (hand written was the proper way). Can you imagine what she would think of an e-card?

Not sure, but I suspect there are more mommy blogs than daddy blogs. Well on one of them I came across this Mother theme site called Mamapalooza. It looks fun.

On the Mamapalooza site I found this funny clip - enjoy Happy Mother's Day.

Ms Jarvis would definitely be shocked if she saw the commercialization of Mother's Day today-- But I think she would be happy to know how many people actually take the time to make a phone call and/or visit their mom too.

Probably when Mothers Day was initiated in the US, mothers and their grown children didn't live so far away from each other like they do now. I like it that you say your memories of your mom include lots of laughs. How cool!

thanks - yes it is cool but of course there are other sad memories too. I'm fortunate that she instilled the idea of being positive when times were difficult. The idea and practice of laughing about things later is part of that.

yes I have. That's a great one and there are few classics that should be background music during the morning rush to get everyone on their way. The Flight of the Bumble Bee is one that comes to mind. Also, if you are off to some serious stuff maybe the Ride of Valkyries.

about lisleman

I was not born lisleman. I moved there. I was born a baby. I started breathing air more than sixty years ago. Oh if you happen to read a news report about
"Lisle man" please notice my moniker is one word. I'm not responsible
for my crazy neighbors.

Sha la la lala live for today.

One of the best things of my life
(everyone's I think) is learning. I like science especially physics.
Don't ever stop asking why because there is an endless amount to
learn. Two of our daughters became teachers. This and our grandkids keeps the learning idea alive for me.

I've accepted that we all have different talents. Most of time this works well for everyone unless your talent is illegal.

Blog on and don't lose that linky feeling.

Does anyone read this far down on these things? I should hide a secret password to a bank account with some money in it. Anyone have a spare bank account with a little cash?
